Whew. After much research, I have compiled a chart of all of the State Sales Tax Holidays for the year of 2006. I hope that this chart will help you as you look for bargains. Basically, states will set asside certain dates during the year so that consumers can purchase goods (usually for school) without paying state sales tax. Each state has a unique type of sales tax exemption, so please click on the state link for more information about a particular state. I hope you find this chart useful! I will update it as more info. is provided. As you can see, there are 5 states which do not charge state sales tax, there are several states which have approved a sales tax holday, and several more states which have legislation pending. An “N/A” indicates that I could find no mention of a state sales tax holdiay for that particular state. Feel free to share this info, but if you mention it, I’d appreciate a link to this page. This chart took a lot of time to put together. Also, be warned, some of the links lead to pdf files. Here’s the chart:
